A single engagement is not the war. And the campaign isn't even over yet. That being said, James Delingpole explains why the Right is winning the #CNNBlackmail battle on Breitbart.

Why and how did we win? Partly by using the enemy’s tactics against them; partly by exploiting a few strengths of our own.

Here are some of them:“Sorry. Not interested”

Being on the left is all about grievance, victimhood and — usually feigned — moral outrage. This was the card CNN tried playing in response to the original Trump wrestling gif. They invited us to believe that Trump’s tweet encouraged “violence against reporters.” We responded in the best way possible: by ignoring it. This may have been what infuriated CNN into making their massive tactical error of hunting down and trying to destroy the alleged creator of the gif. Had CNN shrugged its shoulders and ignored the wrestler gif, it would not be writhing in such abject humiliation now.

Jokes

The left has lots of comedians, but it can’t do jokes: look at John Oliver, who, despite his lucrative gift of being able to persuade liberal studio audiences to make laugh-type noises, has never said anything genuinely funny in his life. This is because progressives are ideologically incapable of humor. We discuss this in more detail on my Delingpole podcast next week on a Special Youth Edition featuring a clever 18-year-old kid who understands the internet and memes and stuff. The reason the right is winning the internet war, he explains, is because our memes are much wittier than their memes. And the reason for that is that the left can’t do humor because they’re afraid it might hurt someone’s feelings.

Point And Swarm; Isolate And Shriek

As Vox Day explains in his invaluable SJW Attack Survival Guide, these are classic techniques used by the regressive left. Now the tables have been turned, and we are learning to use their methods against them. CNN got so panicked after the backlash hit, it had to ban all its staff from using Twitter because whatever they did or said only seemed to make things worse. SJWs can dish it, but they really can’t take it.

Thar's magic in them memes. But don't rest on your laurels. Meme harder. Retweet more. CNN is only in retreat, it has not yet been finished off and dragged by its heels around the White House grounds by the God-Emperor.

Don't get cocky because the Right is still reluctantly defending Trump.

"Trump is far from my first choice when it comes to defending Western Civilization. As Goldberg noted, "for Trump, Western Civilization is a kind of nationalism, not a worldview or philosophy." The National Review author asked, "Does anyone really believe that Trump is, in his heart, a champion of tolerance, open-mindedness, democratic norms, family values, Judeo-Christian precepts, and natural rights?" "

Just like talk radio before it, growth of alt-right social media is the real crisis behind Trump's CNN tweet

But the real story here is not about Trump; it’s about the increasing power and presence of alt-right communication on various social media platforms, from Twitter to YouTube to Reddit to Facebook.

What is interesting is the way that rants and memes and other alt-right tirades have major success in shaping public opinion. And while there is a through line between these outbursts and fake news, it is important to point out that the rants are likely far more influential than fake news in shaping political perception.

Not easy being a neophyte shit-poster. Getting no good/bad feedback on One-Punch Trump memes on Gab.

You're trying to do too much. You can't comment on CNN and represent CNN at the same time. It should just be a simple CNN logo, the stuff about "we threaten children" is bogus because it's not CNN per se, it's what you think CNN does.

A meme is but a single concept. To multiply the concept is to neuter the meme.

Pope Pepe is an awesome "crowning" touch! The God Emperor is "blessed"! Since the election of the God Emperor appears to be a bonafide miracle, can we have Pope Pepe elevated to sainthood in the near future?

Don't get cocky because the Right is still reluctantly defending Trump.

National Review is not of the Right, and I'd hope that no one on the Right is counting on them for anything except betrayal.

Also, they're not "still defending" Trump at all; they sometimes reluctantly praise something he's done while taking shots at the man himself in same breath. At best, they frame his conservative moves as having happened somehow despite him, because they know he can't be other than they promised he was.

What's even more astounding about this is the founder of [Citation Needed] Network was also the head honcho of what for years was the second biggest wrestling promoter.Which like CNN itself, was also based out of Atlanta.It would be like ABC news saying ''Disney? What is that?''.They should have ignored it, do politicians say anything about Editorial Cartoons? Very rarely, no matter what the 'toon was about. That essentially, was what the ''Trump slams CNN'' .gif was. I'm sure Ted Turner has been portrayed negatively in a few 'toons himself.

Someone said the Left is like the substitute teacher who demands respect at all times and absolutely loses his shit when some rogue pushes his buttons. Everyone in the room wants to see this guy lose his marbles. It's in the dna to want to see some pompous dope lose it and look like a clown. The 1960s counterculture relied on this a lot to secure wins. Problem is once you become the man, you're as vulnerable to it as the old guard you beat.

CNN is the go-to channel of airport lounges. If you have to fly, ask the gate people (all of them) to change the channel because you find it offensive.Tell the people in the shops and eateries that you are not going to buy anything until CNN gets pulled and replaced. Drink from the fountain rather than buying a drink, take a granola bar or two with you rather than buying a snack or meal, have you own book, and buy a souvenir elsewhere. But you have to let them know why you are not buying, and that you otherwise would. It is a small thing, but if the airlines people are hearing it day in, day out, and their income falls measurably, they will respond. A small thing, but possibly more visible to people who don't gab/twitter/etc.

And herein is what the fake news propagandists fear the most. Since the decline and corruption of the family, the church, and the public educational establishment, no one but the MSM has had a big enough platform to shape public opinion. This is what the MSM was created to do. Its not about providing accurate data for the public to make an intelligent choice. It is about providing inaccurate data and multiple incorrect data sources to shape the public's opinion. Expect to see CNN equating meme warfare with subverting the Constitution.

And the reason for that is that the left can’t do humor because they’re afraid it might hurt someone’s feelings.

That's partially true. The Left doesn't want to hurt the feelings of certain people, but doesn't care about hurting the feelings of anyone they hate. So, in principle they should be able to do humor that skewers men, whites, straights, Christians, etc. But they don't, really.

The reason the Left can't do humor, is because they're perpetually orthogonal to reality. For something to be funny, it has to contain an element of truth -- almost always an uncomfortable truth. If you hate the truth, you're not gonna be funny.

The Joke is that Rob Liefeld, a Huge 90's comic book artist, sucked at drawing feet XD. I found this unwantedly, so to me is Trivia, but to people that grew up with the Man's shadow lurking in Comic stores in the 90's it is probably a hilarious reference!

But unfortunately, it will never go viral. You can't "share" the video, you can only share the page that has the video. That immediately limits its effectiveness. There's no link to the original source video, either. At least none that I can find.

The reason CNN is on the airport televisions is because they own, install, and maintain those TV sets, and exclusively broadcast only the CNN Airport channel over those sets. For another channel to compete they would have to do the same thing - and pay the airports money to do so. So far, no other media company has chosen to pay the money to do it.

Bill Maher is funny. Liberal comedians are not funny, but (((Liberal comedians))) can be, when they're not being vulgar or pompous, precisely because they're the only ones still allowed to hurt people's feelings without facing the SJW inquisitors (and even they have limits, judging by how often Bill Maher faces threats of excommunication).

George Carlin was probably the last goy comedian on the left who was allowed to be funny, and even he was very much a heretic.

"The reason the Left can't do humor, is because they're perpetually orthogonal to reality. For something to be funny, it has to contain an element of truth -- almost always an uncomfortable truth. If you hate the truth, you're not gonna be funny."

People who hate the truth lose more than humor, it causes a decline in all creativity and intelligence. I've seen some genius level IQ's become mediocre due to bowing to the narrative. It is common that intelligent people become boringly typical by ignoring reality.

A meme is but a single concept. To multiply the concept is to neuter the meme.

To my way of thinking, in the meme posted above I see at least three concepts which I consider distinct from one another:

Trump as CrusaderTrump dragging CNN's corpseKek smiling down and blessing what he sees

But all of those concepts mesh together so well that they form one cohesive, glorious image. It's an excellent meme because the first two concepts are unmistakeable to almost every educated person, even though the meaning of Kek will elude many who are casual observers in the war for Western Civilization. Critically there is no explanation to complicate the meme and each concept is anchored in truth.

The combination of simplicity (a single image with no text) and abstract claims presented in good memes make them difficult to effectively argue against. Furthermore the abstract claims presented in good memes are upsetting to our opponents, throwing them off balance. Trump as a Crusader is deeply disturbing to the left on multiple levels; Trump as King Kong isn't upsetting to nearly the same degree.

Also, with the "CNN threatens children" a concrete claim is presented in the meme which is easily rebuttable, even though the rebuttal may consist entirely of lies.

To my way of thinking, in the meme posted above I see at least three concepts which I consider distinct from one another

That's because it is two memes, or rather, a transformational addition to a meme. Someone else did the Trump Crusader meme, I merely added the painting of Hector's body being dragged with the CNN head.

But you can't expect to practice that level of meme magic from the start.

Somehow I don't think the old Apple 1984 Mac commercial with that young lady with the sledge hammer would quite work. Except as a looped video on a RasPi substituted into the HDMI port at airports (about $10).

More subtle would be a montage of CNN's shock and awe at the God Emperor. It would take the people some time to notice.

Leftism is like Islam. Ayatollah Khomeini once famously said that there is no humor in Islam. Quite different form Christianity. Jesus himself could be playful, joking and gently chiding at times.

I have never found a leftist funny, ever. SNL, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Bill Maher, Steve Colbert, David Letterman, etc... Despite $millions spent on writers they just can't deliver genuine humour. On the other hand, comedians who keep their politics out of their act get me rolling on the floor: Bob Newhart, Jonathan Winters, Richard Pryor, Andrew Dice Clay (yes, even Andrew Dice Clay), Groucho, Rodney Dangerfield, and the kings, Moe, Larry and Curley.

I always found Carroll O'Conner's Archie Bunker hilarious. The left leaning writers who created the character, a send up of supposed troglodyte right wing America, could not help themselves in making Archie endearing and essentially likable. Besides, the show needed a foil, and the foil was the clueless prototypical SJY Michael "the meathead" Stivic. Rob Reiner is a flaming lefty, but when he has to do a job he is able to put aside his politics and do a credible job as an actor.

George Carlin was probably the last goy comedian on the left who was allowed to be funny, and even he was very much a heretic.

I just watched a few of his HBO specials, and while he did do some funny stuff, Carlin also had some serious duds. His politics also leaned very proggie, selected bits often shared notwithstanding (e.g., a good deal of Louis CK "aren't men just terrible?" bollix and "awful white men" folderol).

Re what I think is the best way to criticize liberal MM like CNN, the NY Times, or other liberal outlets like the Atlanta largest newspaper: when I get telemarketed or asked by a 3rd party if (or if not, why not) I watch/read that particular outlet, I answer this: "No. They're way too liberal. If they were more mainstream, I might."

Liberals HATE HATE HATE being told they're out of touch/step. It's akin to what I think is the ideal anti-liberal T-shirt:"Liberals: ignorant, racist, sexist, bad people". It goes right to the heart of how they most value themselves. (Likewise, when you tell a liberal with a fuzzy-studies B.A. that you don't consider any college degree that didn't involve Calculus to even count as education past high school, they absolutely lose their minds.)

Watching Milo recover from the Bill Maher slip up is important as it reflects, I believe, how a significant voting block - white women - lean in future elections. The left is gunning big time for that demographic and Milo was taken out because of 'the children!', if you think about it.

“The danger concerns immigration,” the pope continued to La Repubblica, as translated by AFP. “Our main and unfortunately growing problem in the world today is that of the poor, the weak, the excluded, which includes migrants.”

This Pope is pro-colonizer, therefore anti Western civilization. Didn't the Roman Catholic church used to preach about caring for people where they are? Isn't that how Lagos wound up with the biggest Catholic cathedral in the world?

Memes are inherently Leftist. It is yet another way the alt-right is merging into the Left, along with swarm tactics, racial identity politics, insistence on lockstep doctrine, anti-semitism and hostility to Christianity, equality, corporations and liberty for all.

To be conservative and right-wing is to embrace rationality and logic over rhetoric. Face it guys, the Alt-Right of today is the same as the liberal fascist SJWs of yesteryear.

Winning is inherently leftist. All this concern about winning and victory just shows that the alt right are really just SJWs and collectivists. Principled conservatives know how to be dignified losers with bowties. That's the REAL right.

The alt-Right prefers winning to virtue signalling. But you can just go on being you, you wonderful snowflake.

This tragic fellow is caught in the false dichotomy of Right vs Left, a literally inhumane split between the masculine and feminine principles of life in the tribal ancestral environment, which perpetuates an eternal conflict in toxic scaled societies, unless it be resolved by nuclear fire.

People are still calling him pope? Why though...? Because he wears white?

Yes, that's about the only reason at this point, but fewer people are buying it every day. The mask is pretty well off now; he's not even pretending to care about Catholic teaching or anything but increasing his personal power and advancing his leftist, globalist religion/ideology. His cabal has firm control of the finances now, and he's been busy promoting his homo-friendly, leftist, Jesuit allies since he took over, so it appears that he feels safe being more open about where he stands, and he has no desire to leave most of the demolition work to a successor.

As Catholics face up to that, it's still going to take a while for them to deal with what it means and what comes next. Many will grasp at the hope that Benedict can un-retire or something like that, because that will be easier than facing the full extent of the 60-year disaster, but we have to start somewhere.

"This was the card CNN tried playing in response to the original Trump wrestling gif. They invited us to believe that Trump’s tweet encouraged “violence against reporters.” "

The implicit assumption here, of course, is that pro wrestling is real. A "news" outlet that believes pro wrestling is real? Clearly Fake News.

Not only that, but if you refuse to admit that you're now "The Man," and try to insist that, despite the obvious evidence to the contrary, you are actually a brave rebel fighting against The Man, you're not only unfunny, you're pathetic. Kind of like a middle-aged man pretending to be a teenager.
